NUS MBA ranked among top 25 globally
30 January 2012, Singapore – The National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme has continued its strong performance in the closely-watched Financial Times Global MBA Rankings 2012, retaining its place at 23rd for the second year running. This is the highest ranking attained by a Singaporean university.The School did particularly well in several categories. Post-MBA salaries of graduates increased by 185% over pre-MBA salaries, demonstrating the significant impact of the NUS MBA.
The School also retained its place at 9th in the world for its graduates’ international mobility, reflecting the broad international demand from employers for NUS MBA graduates.
“We are greatly encouraged to be consistently ranked among the best in the world in multiple rankings. These rankings are a recognition that the NUS Business School continues to meet the needs of our students and employers, while providing a rigorous education. We shall continue to strive to be a business school that produces impactful ideas, graduates who are well-received, and all-rounded business leaders with an understanding and appreciation of Asia. We are also pleased to be in the company of two Chinese and two Indian business schools, also ranked among the top 25 in the world. This shows that Asia’s economic dynamism is being followed by the emergence of top business schools,” said Professor Bernard Yeung, Dean and Stephen Riady Distinguished Professor of NUS Business School.
In addition to the strong showing of the NUS MBA in the rankings, the School’s Executive MBA programmes have also fared well, with its Asia-Pacific EMBA ranked 19th and its double degree with the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) at 9th place in EMBA rankings by FT in October 2011. The School also achieved best in Singapore or region rankings in the Forbes (two-year MBA programmes), Princeton Review, Quacquarelli Symonds TopMBA International Recruiters’, and Eduniversal rankings.
Associate Professor Susanna Leong, Vice-Dean of Graduate Studies said: “The FT rankings are an important benchmark for MBA programmes and we are heartened that we retained our best showing in the global rankings. This comes after two of our Executive MBA programmes were ranked highly by FT in 2011, confirming that NUS Business School’s MBA and EMBA programmes are among Asia’s most highly-rated programmes.”
“This accolade affirms what we have known for a long time, that the NUS MBA is of world-class standard. Our graduates have benefited tremendously, not only academically and professionally, but also in terms of bonds forged during the programme. For many of us, the programme opened our minds to new ideas, new horizons, and the ability to take up new challenges at work,” added Dr Michael Teng, President of MBA Alumni-NUS.
The FT MBA ranking is based on data compiled from two main sources: surveys on business schools, and alumni who graduated three years ago.
